Silver Weddings inFranee,

Silver marriages are very pleasing fes-
rivals in France. When couple have
completed twenty five years of married
life this event is celebrated with all the
show of JOY and festivity possible. In
the first place there is a religious cere-
mony in church, which has good deal
of the outward form of genuine we'd
ding. The lady is again called the bride,
and her toilet is superb, supposing her
position in the world justifes it. The
flowers she is expected to wear are large
white OK eyes-known in France as reinss
marguerites. The bridegroom wears a
dress coat The pair are surrounded by
their children and gran dchildren-if
there be any. All relations are invited,
for grand family muster is considered
essential. A dinner is given, followed by
ball, which is opened by the newly re-
married couple, the lady dancing with
her eldest son and her husband with his
eldest daughter.

Irish Emigrating.

LONDON, April 30.-Much anxiety
has been caused here by the vast ex"
tent of the emigration from Ireland
to the United States in the last few
weeks. This extraordinary exodus
is largely due to the steady fall of
farm products, the prospect of Rus
sian.like coercion in Ireland and
glowing accounts of good times on
American soil. The old, well-remem-
bered scenes of bygone years, the
terrible sorrows of parting, are en-
acted daily all over the country.
The railroad trains from the South
of Ireland especially, bring crowds
ofemigrants for every steamer. Some
of the Tory journals indecently exult
at the rapid depopulation of some
parts of Ireland; but the general
tone, more particularly among the
Liberal press, is one of sincere SYM
pathy, Even some of the Unionists
organs declare that Ireland is worse
governed than Turkey.

The Whlms of Drunkards.

Down on the lower basement of
BELLEVUE hospital extends long. low
room which runs from north to south.
On either side heavy oaken doors, in
each of which is a small sliding wick
ct, give it prison like air. To the
right a small Office looks upon the
corridor. In the former place are con-
fined the rum stricken victims sent
to the hospital for treatment, while
in the latter the orderly, in whose
charge the inebriate ward is left,
passes his time when not engaged in
ministering to the wants of those I'M
der his care. During visit to the
morgue recently reporter met an
attachee of the institution, and dur
ing a conversation with him the talk
turned upon the care of inebriates
and some of the peculiar cases that
have been treated in that institution.
One patient was under the delusion
that some one was always calling for
him to take a drink. Before being
admitted into the hospital hecouldn't
pass saloon that he had ever visit
ed without going in, so strong was
his delusion, He seemed to hear
voices saying: "Come in! Stay out
Drink Don't drink !" The longer
he hesitated the louder the voices
seemed to grow, that inviting him
to indulge finally drowning all
the others. AS soon as he went
into the saloon and had drink the
voices ceased and would not be heard
again until he reached another saloon
where he was acquainted.
Another patient, an actor, imagin-
ed himself priest, and was continu-
ally asking for wine with which to
celebrate the holy communion (;

Food in the Spring.

In the springtime of the year there
is great occasion for care in the mat
ter of food. The kind that has sat-
isfied and supported the body during
the winter has served its purpose and
is no longer fit for use. In cold
weather the human system can
assimilate materials that would clog
and derange it in spring. There is,
no need for drugs to make people feel
we'll when the things which have re-
manned dormant in the ground begin
to give signs of life. A iudicious
change of diet is required !; that is all.
1t is better to take the materials for
health from the grocer than from the
druggist. Begin the morning meal
with an extra allowance of fruit.
Take two sound oranges or apples if
you have been eating only one, Or
three if you have been eating two.
Be sure there is no decay in the fruit
employed in this manner, Eat good
bread and butter. If you are coffee
or tea drinker. moderate the usual
allowance. If you are hot-water
drinker, take as much as you like. If
you are fiesh-eater. take half as
much as you do in winter. Pork is
unfit for human food at any season.
Eat less butter and grease of all kinds
in spring. If potatoes are sound and
mealy they are not Objectionable
cheesey potatoes are unfit. There is
the utmost need for the exercise of
caution in the use of vegetables of
every kind. Unless they have been
we'll preserved and have a whole
some flavor. the part of wisdom is to
avoid them. Raw cabbage that has
been spoiled by freezing is often
served in the oyster houses of GER
tain class. The odor is disagreeable
and readily marks it. In spring it is
important that the heaviest meal
should be eaten in the middle of the
day. The warm rains produce an
atmospheric condition which causes
drowsiness. Eating hearty meal in
the midst of this pressure adds to-
the weight upon the system. In day.
light the demands of business or duty
will enable you to cope with it. In
the evening there is no such stimu-
lus and the result is injury to health.
The evening meal should be light
and easily digested. Don't eat buck
wheat cakes or doughnuts. If you
are a meat eater, be sure that the
meat has been broiled or roasted.
Don't eat fried food of any kind. It.
is not desirable to feel that you have
eaten enough. Moderation is the.
best doctor.-Her0ld of Health.

drunkards seem to have as broad a
range of decisions as those who are
mentally unbalanced, and the won
der is that they recover as soon as
they do. According to the orderly,
beer drinkers recover less rapidly

At other times the Germans divide
the honors with them. AS rule,
a man who is sent to the place third
